I did this for the Drawing for Comics class am attending at the moment. I think my map is a little bit crowded but I just had to place all of the things that influenced me and played a role in shaping my style and the way I paint today, and probably will continue to do so in the future.

I will write a quick note for each of the boxes starting from top left:

Angle dude: No name for the artist, mostly classical painting, heroic figures and superb anatomy.

Shokuen.com : I recently found his website and I have to say that I looked a lot to find it, he got some really sick figures, and I just love his girls so thin so ill.

Raymond Swanland: Amazing illustrator, he did the covers for the American version of the manga Priest.

Helmet Dude: Sculptures ... just lots of them, great anatomy and great figures.

Ashley Wood: Who doesn\'t love the work of Ashley???

Adi: He is the one who got me to love Ironman. amazing armor designer and painter.

James Jean: Who doesn\'t love the work of James!!!??? >_>

Kim Hyung-tae: Even before collage, I started collecting his work. I loved his tall girls and his super clean coloring and his costume design.

Jia Ruan: One of the best digital artist around, I love his colors and I hope that I can be as good as him one day.

Jo Chen: Clean and beautiful portraits.

Niklas Jansson: Probably you don\'t know this guy, but he is the one who got me into digital painting... yeah coz of him I wanted to paint.

Warhammer art: ....Duh!

Kids on tiger: Don\'t know the name of the artist, got lots of his work but couldn\'t find the name, help me if u can.

Mike Mignola: Who doesn\'t love the work of Mike!!!??? >_____>

Lucky Luke: I read a lot of this comic when I was a kid, got most of the translated books, they were few that got into Arabic though.

Min-Woo Hyung: The best manga artist to live, and Priest is the best manga till today...... its a shame that they stopped it... (((

Adrian Smith: That is a must, right?

-----------------------That is all. And yes you can build your own Influence Map which is made by this guy here[link]

I'm not the only one who knows of Niklas Jansson! WOO! He also got me into digital to be honest. he's out of my Influence Map, because I couldn't find him again. Nor could I remember his name, but with this. Thank you so much, man! So many wonderful re-acquaintances.

Damn I didnt know that there used to be a cartoon The comics are originally used to be for my uncles along with Tin Tin and Asterix and Obelix and a couple more French graphical novels. Getting those in Arabic was so hard, so I assume I was lucky

Now i have to spend a whole day looking at every single piece of every single one of them. Aside from the u-know-whats ofc -_- Also , i ur holy saviour has found ur uknown influence. The artist who drew the pic with the kids riding the tiger is called Joy Ang. Here is her DA [link] Dont thank me , pay me.
